Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Suprax Solutab belongs to the group of semi-synthetic antibiotics from the group of III generation cephalosporins for oral administration. It has a bactericidal effect, the mechanism of which is based on inhibition of the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Cefixime is resistant to the action of a wide range of β-lactamases produced by various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

The effectiveness of cefixime has been confirmed in infections associated with Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Moraxella catarrhalis.

Cefixime is also active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Citrobacter diversus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Proteus vulgaris, Citrobacter amalonaticus, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Klebsiella multociidae, Pasteurella opp.

Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Most strains of Enterobacter spp., Staphylococcus spp. Are resistant to the drug. (including methicillin-resistant strains), Clostridium spp., Bacteroides fragilis.

Pharmacokinetics

The main characteristics of the active substance:

• absorption: oral bioavailability - 40-50%, it does not depend on food intake. The maximum plasma concentration of the substance in the blood after taking 400 mg of the drug is achieved after 3-4 hours and varies in the range of 2.5-4.9 μg / ml, after taking 200 mg - from 1.49 to 3.25 μg / ml. Food intake does not significantly affect the absorption of the drug from the gastrointestinal tract;
• distribution: with the introduction of 200 mg of cefixime, Vd is 6.7 liters, upon reaching Css - 16.8 liters; approximately 65% binds to plasma proteins. The highest concentrations of cefixime are recorded in bile and urine. The substance crosses the placenta. Its concentration in the blood of the umbilical cord reaches ¹ / ₆ - ¹ / ₂ concentration in plasma Supraksa Soljutab maternal blood; cefixime is not detected in breast milk;
• metabolism and excretion: the half-life is 3-4 hours, the substance is not metabolized in the liver; 50–55% of the dose taken is excreted unchanged in the urine within 24 hours, about 10% is excreted in the bile.

With renal failure, it is possible to increase the half-life and, accordingly, the plasma concentration of the drug and slow down its elimination by the kidneys. In patients with creatinine clearance of 30 ml / min, when 400 mg of cefixime is taken, the half-life increases to 7–8 hours, the plasma concentration of the substance averages 7.53 μg / ml, and excretion in the urine in 24 hours is 5.5%. With cirrhosis of the liver, the half-life is increased to 6.4 hours, the time to reach the plasma concentration of the substance is 5.2 hours; at the same time, the proportion of Suprax Solutab, eliminated by the kidneys, increases.

• uncomplicated infections of the lower and upper urinary tract in men: 7-14 days;
• uncomplicated lower / upper urinary tract infections in women: 3 to 7-14 days.

In cases of impaired renal function, the dose is determined by creatinine clearance:

• 21-60 ml / min or patients on hemodialysis: decrease in the daily dose by 25% (it is recommended to use other dosage forms);
• ≤ 20 ml / min or patients on peritoneal dialysis: halve the daily dose.

Side effects

Possible adverse reactions (> 10% - very common;> 1% and 0.1% and 0.01% and <0.1% - rarely; <0.01% - very rare):

• urinary system: very rarely - hematuria, a slight increase in the concentration of creatinine in the blood;
• hematopoietic system: very rarely - agranulocytosis, transient leukopenia, pancytopenia, eosinophilia or thrombocytopenia; in some cases - blood clotting disorders;
• digestive system: often - digestive disorders, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting; rarely - a transient increase in the level of transaminases and alkaline phosphatase; very rarely - pseudomembranous colitis; in some cases - cholestatic jaundice and hepatitis;
• central nervous system: infrequently - dizziness, headaches, dysphoria;
• allergic reactions: rarely - pruritus, urticaria; very rarely - Lyell's syndrome (immediate withdrawal of Suprax Solutab is required), a syndrome resembling serum sickness, drug fever, interstitial nephritis and hemolytic anemia (in cases of anaphylactic shock, epinephrine, antihistamines and systemic glucocorticosteroids should be administered).

Overdose

The main symptoms: an increase in the frequency of dose-dependent adverse reactions.

Therapy: symptomatic and supportive; gastric lavage; peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis are ineffective.

special instructions

In connection with the likelihood of developing cross-allergic reactions with penicillins, before the appointment of Suprax Solutab, the patient's history must be carefully evaluated. In cases of allergic reactions, the drug is immediately canceled.

With a long course, a violation of the normal intestinal microflora is possible. This can cause the overgrowth of Clostridium difficile and the development of pseudomembranous colitis. In cases of the appearance of mild forms of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, in most cases it is enough to stop taking Suprax Solutab. In more severe forms, it is recommended to carry out corrective therapy (for example, vancomycin orally 4 times a day, 250 mg). Antidiarrheal drugs that inhibit gastrointestinal motility are contraindicated in pseudomembranous colitis.

When combined with high doses of certain drugs, including polymyxin B, aminoglycosides, sodium colistimethate, loop diuretics (furosemide, ethacrynic acid), it is necessary to control renal function. After the end of long-term treatment, it is necessary to check the state of the hematopoiesis function.

Dissolve Suprax Solutab 400 mg tablets only in water.

During the course of the treatment course, when using some test systems for express diagnostics, a false positive urine reaction to glucose and a false positive direct Coombs' reaction are possible.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms

With the combined use of cefixime with certain drugs / substances, the following effects may develop:

• tubular secretion blockers, including probenecid: slowing down the excretion of cefixime in the urine, which can cause an overdose;
• carbamazepine: an increase in its plasma concentration (therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended);
• indirect anticoagulants: increasing their action and reducing the prothrombin index.
